Q: How does Lash Sensational Washable Mascara’s fanning brush help make lashes look longer?
A: Lash Sensational Washable Mascara features an exclusive fanning brush with ten layers of bristles. This design helps to separate and fan lashes without clumping, revealing layers of lashes and giving the appearance of length and volume.
Q: Is Lash Sensational Washable Mascara a tubing mascara?
A: No, Maybelline New York’s Lash Sensational Washable Mascara isn't a tubing formula, but it is a lengthening and separating mascara that’s designed to give you longer and fuller-looking lashes.
Q: How do I choose a Lash Sensational Washable Mascara shade?
A: Lash Sensational comes in four shades that complement all eye colors. However, blue eyes may benefit from the warmth of our softest shade option, Brownish Black. Looking for a more colorful shade selection? Check out Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara.
Q: What type of lashes does Lash Sensational Washable Mascara work best with?
A: This mascara is designed to give you a stunning ""full fan effect"" with buildable volume and lift. It works for all types of lashes, including short lashes, straight lashes, unruly lashes, and even sparse lashes. You can expect supple, beautifully separated lashes that look thick and full. It’s all about achieving that wide-eyed, fanned-out look in one swipe.
Q: How many coats of Lash Sensational Washable Mascara should I apply?
A: Feel free to apply multiple coats until you achieve your desired level of volume and intensity. The key is to not let the mascara dry between coats if you want to build up the drama. For the best results, use the inner curve of the brush to really grab your lashes right from the roots. Then, sweep the brush all the way from root to tip.
Q: How do you remove Lash Sensational Washable Mascara?
A: It’s super easy to take off Lash Sensational Washable Mascara. A micellar water, or any gentle eye makeup remover, will do the trick.

    New formula

    I've been using this mascara for as long as I can remember. I loved everything about it and would constantly recommend it to people. Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to find a new favorite because it now transfers to my eyelids throughout the day. After reading other reviews, it seems like I'm not the only one having this problem now. I'm assuming the formula has changed. This makes me so sad!
    1 reply from Maybelline team - 9 days ago
    Hello! Thank you for your incredible, long-time loyalty to our Lash Sensational Washable Mascara. We are so sorry to hear that you've experienced transfer on your eyelids and that the formula isn't performing the way you've always loved. While formula updates can occasionally occur as we bring the latest technology to our collections, we take your feedback seriously and have shared your comments directly with our team. To help prevent transfer and keep your look locked in place all day, we suggest checking out the waterproof version of Lash Sensational. We truly value your years of support and hope you give our waterproof formula a try to keep those lashes looking sensational! XO

    This is my go-to mascara. The brown-black is so perfect for fairer/lighter features. It applies smooth no clumps. I like the way the brush is shaped for how I do my mascara with more emphasis on fanning the outer lashes out

    Formula Changed…. Boo

    PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL FORMULA! I just got this and have been a dedicated customer since 2016! This last time, the mascara smudges all over my bottom lids throughout the day and is so hard to take off when it used to come off in tubes which was amazing! I am so sad and disappointed and now want to start looking elsewhere.

    My holy grail mascara… if it came in true brown. EVERYONE wants brown mascara these days, and Maybline makes the sky high in a true brown, so why not this one? I can’t use the sky high, and there’s nothing brown I can find with a comparable wand that’s not waterproof. PLEASE make this in a true brown!

    The formula has changed

    I used this mascara for over 10 years and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, the formula has changed. It now smudges onto my upper eyelids throughout the day, which never happened before, and it’s much harder to wash off with water. I’m so disappointed they changed such a great product. Now I have to find a new favorite mascara after more than a decade.

    Hi there! We are incredibly grateful for your decade of loyalty to our Lash Sensational Washable Mascara, and we are so sorry to hear that recent formula changes led to smudging and a more difficult removal process. We understand how frustrating it is when a long-time favorite doesn't perform the way you expect, and we have shared your detailed feedback directly with our quality and development teams for review.

    Formula change?

    This was my go-to mascara for years, but recently it’s started giving me raccoon eyes. Did the formula change? I can’t wear it anymore because it runs under my eyes so much.
    1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 2 months ago
    Hello Ali B! We are so sorry to hear that your beloved go-to mascara has started smudging and transferring under your eyes, as we want your lashes to stay sensational all day. While we haven't made any recent changes to this classic formula, smudging can sometimes happen if it interacts with a new, more emollient eye cream, concealer, or skin oil on your face. To help prevent those raccoon eyes and lock the mascara in place, we suggest making sure your under-eye skincare is fully absorbed and applying a very light dusting of translucent powder to your under-eye area before applying your mascara, which creates a dry barrier that prevents the formula from transferring.
